Q: How is chesterfield County using the Chromebooks for SOL testing? Pearson testnav relies on Java to deliver all assessments for SOL in VA. ' I have a foreign language teacher that uses speech recording in his assignments. How is this handled in the Chromebook environment?

A: Chesterfield isn't using Chromebooks for testing, unfortunately, since Pearson TestNav 7.5 requires Java. TestNav 8 works great on the Chromebooks and is used in many other states. This is something that needs to be taken up with the state's education governing body.

Q: Does anyone know if the management console allows you to monitor live acitivty on a student's chromebook? I have been told this is the case, but I can't find any documentation on it.

A: The Google management console does not allow live viewing of the students' Chromebooks. You will need to use a tool such as Hapara Teacher Dashboard or GoGuardian to get live viewing of the students' Chromebooks.
